The first division shield final is between Borrisokane and Sallypark which is a bit of a surprise. Sallypark bet Borrisoleigh which is definitely a surprise to me.
It was a mid week game and it may have been the Borrisoleigh were missing a lot of players.
On positive news for the youths league I believe this year teams will be able to combine youths teams. There is talk of Ballymackey joining up with Cloughjordan to enter a team. Did anyone hear anything about this?
Nenagh AFC 1-1 Blackcastle(Nenagh win 6-5 on penalties)
Got out of jail a bit in thiz one, playing very poorly and trailing 1-0 for most of the game Mole Mitchell came off the bench to equalise in the 90th minute and send the game to penalties where we came off the better.
The only thing I've heard about the Youths is the same as what you've said there.
He is a fine player alright. Did Blackcastle play well or were ye just poor?Quote:

A combination of both, they had their homework done and knew what to do to try and stifle us. However it was our own poor play that allowed them to not only be in the game but deserve to win every bit as much as we did.Quote:

I take it your from Clough then?Quote:

Unlucky, personally I hate midweek matches. Dont seem to have the same legs after a days work during the week compared to a weekend.Quote:

I believe they can still play for Clough at junior level etc. Have ye heard about the development we are working on, when we get the astro-turf going it may be useful for Clough as well.
I think it would be a good idea for the youths to play with Ballymackey cos it has been a while since we have had a youth team and seen as it wont affect them playing for us at junior level.. Ya why not !!Quote:

Ya heard about the development ye are doing ..Great to see and it will come in handy for us for training etc..
We dont even have our own field (Just renting it ) so we cant do anything like that.. I wish we could.. It is nearly impossible to buy a field near the village at the moment..

Would anyone have details of past champions of the North Tipp league ?

Birdhill v Blackcastle United 6.30 pm.
Sunday August 31st.
Premier Division League
Nenagh AFC v Rearcross 11.30
Arra Rovers v Cloughjordan 11.30
Moneygall v Nenagh Celtic 11.30
Toomevara v Thurles Town 2 pm.
BAWN 79 - YEP that kind of thing - details odf past campions since league started - prob arond mid 70's
Nenagh AFC 3-1 Rearcross, a poor enough first half but we got going in the second and got the job done. Should have probably been a bit more as Rearcross left themselves very open when trying to get back into the game and we had plenty of chances but a win is a win.
Interestingly Birdhill beat Blackcastle 4-1 aswell, which was quite surprising.
Birdhill arent a bad team at all and have a large pick around that area taking in Newport, Ballina and even in as far as Castleconnell in Limerick.Quote:

Would be worth contacting these guys I think, they should have that list but Id say it has never been committed to soft-copy before.
They looked pretty poor when we played them last season, think we won 5-0.Quote:

Maybe they just had a weakened side when they played us lasy year because I thought they were very poor that day.
